What Role do Nurses Play in End of Life Decisions?
Nurses play a pivotal role in the end of life care process. They are often the primary point of contact for patients and their families, providing not only medical care but also emotional support. Nurses help facilitate discussions about [advance directives](), [living wills](), and [Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)]() orders. They also assist in managing symptoms and ensuring the patient's comfort.
